National Wear Red Day

Friday, February 2nd isn’t just my birthday, but this year it’s National Wear Red Day! National Wear Red Day is held the first Friday in February to raise awareness about heart disease being the number one killer of women. All are encouraged to wear red and show their support for women’s heart health.

Death in women has decreased by more than 30 percent over the past 10 years.

The American Heart Associations recommends that women know their numbers. Five important numbers you should know are your Total Cholesterol, HDL (good) Cholesterol, Blood Pressure, Blood Sugar and your Body Mass Index. If these numbers are something you don’t know, schedule a well-woman appointment today!
